The author Toshio Odate, not only discusses all the tools used by a typical Japanese woodworker, but also infuses the book with his own memories of a rigorous apprenticeship in Japan, and how a classically trained-craftsman comes to understand the spirit of each tool and the true nature of craftsmanship.

Excellent book

Just what I needed to help me understand why Japanese and western woodworkers have evolved such contrasting tools. The author's anecdotes explain further and help to make the text enjoyable, not just a reference work.

A book without equal...

Toshio Odate's 'Japanese Woodworking Tools: Their Spirit Tradition, Spirit and Use' is the best book to buy on the subject matter and Japanese Tools Australia is the best place to buy it.
